Hillary Just Got DEVASTATING Post-Debate Poll News… She’ll Be In Full Panic Mode

After the 2005 recording of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump making lewd comments about women came to light, many assumed that his poll numbers would quickly plunge.

Not so fast.

Some post-debate polls have finally started to trickle in, and so far they have shown that (once again) the political pundits were wrong when it came to Trump.

A Politico/Morning Consultant poll showed that Trump was behind Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton by only 5 points. Among those surveyed, Clinton had 42 percent of the vote while Trump had 37 percent of the vote, Politico reported.

But this is where it actually got interesting.

If you follow the Politico/Morning Consultant polls over time, Trump’s showing actually went up by 1 point after the recording was released and after the debate, while Clinton’s numbers stayed the same.

Before the weekend Trump was at 36 percent. After the weekend he was at 37 percent.

Of course Politico conveniently failed to mention that on their website, but the U.K. Daily Mail pointed out that the Politico poll wasn’t as bad as some would like you to think.

The chart below shows the trends in polling numbers from Politico polls over the past few weeks:

The reason Trump’s numbers appeared to have fallen in the graphic was that just after the Trump recording came out, his poll numbers went up to 38 percent (the spike on October 8), but then dropped back to 37 percent.

This was likely due to a poll being taken before the recording was released, or simply random polling variation.

What this poll showed is that the American people aren’t going to leave Trump in droves over a mistake he made 11 years ago, and even if they do, they certainly aren’t going to go over to Clinton. While the Republican elite may be abandoning Trump, the American people aren’t.
